As we pointed out throughout the months leading up to the election, crowd size matters. President Trump was crushing Hillary Clinton in number of rallies and number of participants at his rallies when compared to Clinton.

The enthusiasm gap between Trump and Hillary was palpable, and turned out to be a major clue to Trump’s victory in swing states.

The media remained silent on the crowd size numbers when it was clear that Trump was crushing Hillary in this area. But late last week the media finally reported that crowd size does matter. CNN (Fake News) reported that President Trump’s crowd size was much smaller than President Obama’s crowd size in 2009, and CNN provided two pictures to show the difference.

However, the pictures in the article show the crowd size for Obama when he was speaking during his 2009 inauguration with the crowd from Trump’s inauguration approximately 3 hours before Trump spoke.

The Australian ABC ran that comparison from CNN on their main news bulletin at 7 pm, using it as proof that Trump and his spokesman were liars for claiming the crowd were comparable. The Australian PC crew are thereby confirmed in their belief that Trump is a liar, and will simply know you are telling fibs if you dispute the crowd numbers with them — they saw it.

CNN’s report was another of their ‘Fake News’ lies. The photos used in their post were not comparing apples to apples and President Trump’s Press Secretary pointed this out on Saturday in a special press conference. Trump’s crowd was huge and every bit as big as Obama’s crowd in 2009. Also, in CNN’s article they say that Obama had 1.8 million people in 2009. This is now refuted and is more likely closer to 800,000.

Later CNN’s report was proven false by their own reporting. CNN released a gigapixel of President Trump’s Inauguration and the areas they show as empty in their article from their January 21st report were filled to the brim in their more recent picture which was taken at the time of Trump’s speech during the Inauguration ceremony.

This is right at the back of the mall, which in CNN’s comparison is nearly empty:

It is hard to believe in this day and age of cameras everywhere that this should be an actual dispute. Isn’t it easily resolvable? See here and here.

If this is anything like global warming, which seems to be the first issue where a lot of these tactics were deployed and trialed, there will be all shades of lies by the PC crowd, shouted at you by the media for years. With all that official sounding alarm, there must be something, right? It’s like the old joke:

Worried that their son was too optimistic, the parents of a little boy took him to a psychiatrist. In an attempt to dampen the boy’s spirits, the psychiatrist showed him into a room piled high with nothing but horse manure. Instead of displaying distaste, the little boy clambered to the top of the pile and began digging.

“What are you doing?” the psychiatrist asked.

“With all this manure,” the little boy replied, beaming, “there must be a pony in here somewhere.”
